This module provides a nicer interface to the _hotshot C module.
Hotshot is a replacement for the existing profile module. As it's
written mostly in C, it should result in a much smaller performance impact
than the existing profile module.

classProfile(

logfile[,
lineevents=0[,
linetimings=1]])

The profiler object. The argument logfile is the name of a log
file to use for logged profile data. The argument lineevents
specifies whether to generate events for every source line, or just on
function call/return. It defaults to 0 (only log function
call/return). The argument linetimings specifies whether to
record timing information. It defaults to 1 (store timing
information).
